Soak 'N' Wet (Alternative Dunk Tank)

Its been a hot summer, even here in northern New England. We don't have a large pool, the kids are getting tired of the sprinkler, and the teens are "too cool" for the kiddie pool. So I decided to give this a try as a gift for my son's 8th birthday. It was a hit! Both he, his 15 year old brother, and the other neighborhood kids love it. For the specifics: It went together much faster than I expected, a pleasant surprise. The materials are quality, though one piece came with a small crack. An email to the manufacturer was answered super fast (on a weekend even!), and we had a new part in days. Excellent customer service. We use a small folding chair under it, and it fits everyone from the smaller 8 year old, the teens, myself and my husband. The bean bags did get a few tears, but we've sewn them back up without much effort. You really need to use the bean bags- anything heavier will probably challenge the parts and isn't necessary. My boys play baseball, but I can hit the target without much effort. We fill the bucket manually so we can manage the temperature, but there is a hose connection that looks easy. Highly recommend for a way to stay cool this summer, in more ways than one!

Soak N Wet was the hit of the pool party! Entertained the 12 year olds for hours and neighbors were lined up to try it out the next day. My only regret is not ordering it sooner! Shipping took longer than expected, (I was notified and given opportunity to cancel) so we missed using it for a different pool party. Set up took about 10 minutes, just followed along with pictures provided. The set arrived with a damaged piece (note inside the box said this might happen due to shipping). Fortunately the set is sturdy enough that the broken T-joist wasn’t an issue and kids were able to enjoy using it. I contacted seller the following day through Amazon and heard back from them in minutes saying a new piece would be sent. Received the piece in few days. GREAT customer service! Honestly the set is so sturdy that we’ve just been using it without attaching the new t-joist, but it’s nice to have it for future assembly. Other reviews mentioned the bean bags aren’t heavy enough. They are! Doesn’t feel like they will be but the target just needs the tiniest hit to release the bucket. We noticed that when kids hit the target with force (like pushed it on their own or threw something heavier at it) the arm would come unattached. It’s easy to pop back in so not a problem but the bean bags are really all that’s intended to be thrown at it. I am ordering some replacement bean bags to have (and to give people more than 3 chances to hit the target…it’s harder than it looks! The hose attachment is key! I saw similar products without the hose attachment but you would have to fill the bucket by hand each time. Kids also like to sit under the bucket while it’s filling/overflowing while someone tries to dunk them. If your kids have outgrown bounce house for birthday parties, this is the PERFECT next step! Adults will enjoy it too! We haven’t stopped using it .

We were informed by the school district, with 48 hours notice, that we could not have a Dunk Tank at our Fall Festival. Having had a Dunk Tank for 10 years running, we were a little put out. We knew the kids would be looking for this favorite activity, and we didn't want to disappoint them. Leave it to my amazing sister to find this on Amazon! We wondered if it could get here fast enough and if it would be a cool enough thing to substitute for a full size dunk tank? The answers are YES and YES!! I ordered this wonderful item on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 (from my phone in the carpool line) and it came in the mail on Friday. The set up took no time at all and the families love it! As a matter of fact, it is so great, I may just keep it instead of getting reimbursement from the PTAO! They may have to just go buy another one next year. I cannot recommend this enough - bother the product and the delivery were dreamy! (The pictures are from my driveway today. I was too busy working the event to get pictures last night! Also, at the Festival, we had grown-ups sitting under the bucket and grown-ups monitoring the line.)

This was purchased as an alternative to the traditional dunk tank for a charity event. It worked out fantastically! It went together very quickly, and was a lot of fun with the executives getting dumped instead of dunked. It was also fun to be able to add a scoop of ice for an extra couple bucks to hel the fund raising. It packed away very quickly, and we will look forward to having this be a regular event. This is a very good product and connects to any normal garden hose for easy fill. If I have one critique it is that there isn't an auto-shutoff when the tank gets filled.

We bought this for our elementary school to dunk our teachers at field day. It was so much fun. I love how easy it was to put together and take down. It takes up a lot less space than something like law like this would take up. The teachers were much more interested in doing this over a dunk tank because they would be less wet. Although, they do still get plenty wet. I tried to rent a dunk tank and yes, it’s cheaper than this, but one purchase and hopefully this will last us years to come and save us lots of money in the long run. This was a great purchase. Well worth it!

We bought this because we frequently rent bouncers for birthday parties and wanted to try something new. It was a homerun in the fun department! The kids (and adults) loved it! The Soak 'N' Wet is a great product! It's well constructed with light PVC pipe that's easy to move around, take down and store away and easy to assemble. We live in AZ so we can use it 7 months out of the year because of the warm climate. I highly recommend this product if you have kids and are looking for a good alternative to bouncers and the same old boring birthday parties. But it's not only fun for kids. Adults will have a great time with it as well.

I purchased the Soak ‘N’ Wet for my annual July party. It was intended for the younger children to play with while the adults were playing their tournament water volleyball rounds in the pool. To my surprise, the adults were playing as well while they waited their turn for the water volleyball. It was a hit with all ages! It was very east to assemble, and I know we will be using the Soak ‘N’ Wet for years to come! I highly recommend the Soak ‘N’ Wet!

I currently use this product at children camps and they love it. They all want to sit-down and get soaked or hit the target to soak their friends and counselors. It is just LOTS OF FUN. I use it overseas as well and it has the same effect with children and adults. It is truly FUN and so much cheaper than a real dunk-tank. On top of having a fun product, the Waters Games owner had turned what started as a bad experience into a GREAT experience. I received my package with a broken piece due to mishandling by the postal service. When I contacted Water Games (the company manufacturing the product), I received prompt responses plus a replacement in no time. I had requirements in order to ship this product overseas and they were able to make the accommodation. I will recommend the product and the company to anyone.
